Well my pilot's been gone for over a week now....so I was getting restless in the garage. The annual May run is coming up, and I was thinking I'll take something other than the pilot this year....<looks around the year> Ahhh the old blue MPV!!!
The things been out a on a few weekend runs, but was in need of some.....growth hormones to make her ready for the May run. I spoke with Mike, my neighbor, and he sounded quite interested in the prospect of having a 4WD vehicle that would haul 5 people....turns out we may have more than 5! So in went a pair of old Prelude buckets in the rear.
Room for 7 now!
Swapped rims an tires for some 31's and we went to work on the rear suspension.......what to use to lift it??!?!! Hmmmmm "how about these?" <holding a pair of rear stock Pilot rims> "Yeah! they'll work, grab the torches!!!"
And so the rear is 90% done...ran out of oxygen...just need to cut a couple bits of clearance for the shocks (well they're so shot, they're our limiting straps now!) Then on to the front.
We're liking the looks of it SO much we may invest in a new clutch for it, as that's weak. It should hold if we stay in low range though...yup low range! I love this MPV...rare bird...manual 5spd with low range. normally RWD, push button (on the floor shift) AWD, low range and locking center diff on the column shift :shock:

Then come the interior details, multiple windshield washer jugs for dispensing your favorite drinks! :roll: :lol:
Can't wait!
